[ABQTypers] ABQwerty Type Writer Society June Meeting and Updates

[NINETTE S MORDAUNT]

Glad you clarified about that ABQTypers as I've already received an email from that address and I questioned what that was all about.
Also happy we don't HAVE to go on FaceBook to receive notices as I really, really don't want to join that social medium.....
Thanks for all the info.

Kevin has installed a new purple ribbon, and the machine types very nicely considering it has yet to be thoroughly serviced.

Your email addresses have now been added to the ABQTypers distribution list. Going forward, expect to receiving emails about our Society via this new email account.

You do not need to have a Facebook account to access the page, though Facebook may bug you with pop-ups inducing you sign up; just ignore them and you’ll be able to access the page. However, keeping in mind that not all members of the Society are on Facebook, we will make every attempt to also send out all announcements and notifications via this email account as well. Here is a link to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ABQTypers/
